General Aspects of Harmonics Emission
An adjustable frequency drive takes up a non-sinusoidal current from the line power, which increases the input current I
RMS
.
A non-sinusoidal current is transformed by means of a Fourier analysis and split up into sine-wave currents with different
frequencies, i.e., different harmonic currents I
n
with 50 Hz as the basic frequency:

Table 2.13 Harmonic Currents
The harmonics do not affect the power consumption directly but increase the heat losses in the installation (transformer,
cables). Consequently, in plants with a high percentage of rectifier load, maintain harmonic currents at a low level to
prevent an overload of the transformer and high temperature in the cables.
